I'm new to this and was surprised that you had to own TOPT yesterday after a similar article stated "shareholders of record April 17", but you had to buy it yesterday because of the it takes time for share purchases to record. Markets closed for holiday Friday and closed for the weekend so Two business days makes it the twelfth. The article that many read was similar t CVC article:"TOP Tankers Inc (Nasdaq: TOPT - News) announced today the declaration of a special dividend of $2.50 per share. The dividend will be payable on April 25, 2006 to shareholders of record as of April 17, 2006." As another poster pointed out"Stock trades take 3 days to settle, so purchases made today (4/12) will have a record date of April 18 (Friday is a market holiday)."

If you sell it on April 24, you may get the divident and have to pay it back to the buyer. Mike, if you sell CVC before April 25, you will not get the dividend.

The dividend will be payable on April 24, 2006 to holders of record at the close of business on April 18, 2006. Because of the magnitude of the special cash dividend, the New York Stock Exchange has determined that the ex-dividend date will be April 25, 2006, the business day following the payment date for the special cash dividend. Shareholders of record on the April 18, 2006 record date who subsequently sell their shares of common stock prior to the April 25, 2006 ex-dividend date will also be selling their right to receive the special cash dividend. Shareholders are encouraged to consult with their financial advisors regarding the specific implications of the deferral of the ex-dividend date. cvc website x-date 4/25 On April 7, 2006, the Board of Directors of Cablevision Systems Corporation (”Cablevision”) declared a special cash dividend of $10.00 per share on each outstanding share of its NY Group Class A Stock and NY Group Class B Stock.
